Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman, an Australian actress born in 1967, started her career in local plays and Australian TV shows, including soap operas. The actress’s big break came in 1989 when she was cast as Tom Cruise’s love interest in the car-racing drama “Days of Thunder.” The pair became a real-life couple offscreen and were married on Christmas Eve 1990. She and Cruise re-teamed onscreen for the 1992 drama “Far and Away.” Kidman’s other notable ’90s films included “To Die For,” “Batman Forever,” “The Peacemaker,” “Practical Magic” and “Eyes Wide Shut,” her third collaboration with Cruise.

Kidman scored her first Oscar nomination for the 2001 musical “Moulin Rogue,” and appeared in the hit horror film “The Others” later that year. The very next year, Kidman took home the Best Actress trophy at the Academy Awards for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.” She then scored roles in such hit films as “Cold Mountain” (2003), “The Stepford Wives” (2004), “The Interpreter” (2005), “Bewitched” (2005) and “Margot At The Wedding” (2006). Over the next decade, Kidman appeared in the movies “The Golden Compass,” “Australia,” “Nine,” “Rabbit Hole,” “Grace of Monaco” and “Secret In Their Eyes,” to name a few.

In 2017, Kidman landed a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in the drama “Lion.” The actress’s other recent projects have included “The Beguiled,” “The Killing Of A Sacred Deer,” and the HBO series “Big Little Lies,” which garnered her Emmy and Golden Globe Awards win. Production for the second season is slated for late 2018. Kidman’s future projects also include the superhero movie “Aquaman,” as well as the upcoming dramas “Boy Erased” and “The Goldfinch.”

Kidman has four children in total. In 1992, she and then-husband Cruise adopted a girl named Isabella. Three years later, they adopted son Connor. The former spouses separated in February 2001, with Cruise filing for divorce two days later.

In the years that followed, the actress was romantically linked to Lenny Kravitz and Robbie Williams. Kidman began dating Urban in 2005 and the two were married in June 2006. The couple had their first daughter, Sunday Rose, in 2008, and second daughter, Faith Margaret, was born via a surrogate in 2010. The family has homes in Nashville, Los Angeles and Sydney.
